Butternut Squash Roll

I'm eating this right now.  It's even been a couple of days and it's even better after chilling!  Butternut Squash Roll is only a bit different than a Pumpkin Roll, but it's just as delicious!  Maybe even, dare I say... better!?

List of Ingredients:

3 eggs

1 cup sugar

2/3 cup mashed cooked butternut squash

3/4 cup flour (If you like, you can use 3/4 cup wheat flour.  I used 1/2 cup wheat and 1/4 cup all purpose.)

1 tsp baking soda

1/2 tsp ground cinnamon

1 cup finely chopped walnuts (optional)

powder sugar

Mix three eggs in a large bowl

Gradually beat in 1 cup of sugar

Add 2/3 cup of butternut squash

Combine until well mixed

Mix together 3/4 cup flour, 1 tsp of baking soda and 1/2 tsp of cinnamon

Combine with the squash mixture and mix well.
Line a 15x10x1 baking sheet with parchment paper.  (You may want to grease and flour it).  Spread squash roll batter onto the sheet.  If you want to add crushed walnuts, do so now. 

Bake in a 375 degree oven for 13 to 15 minutes.
Cool on a wire rack for 10 minutes

Dust clean kitchen towel with powder sugar

Turn over the cake onto towel and peel off the parchment paper

Roll it up

Unroll the cake when you're ready to fill it with icing

Greek Yogurt Icing
(This makes a little too much.  It would be better to try 3/4 cup Greek yogurt and 1/2 cup powder sugar)
Ingredients:
1 cup Greek yogurt
1/2 cup powder sugar
1 tsp vanilla

Measure out 1 cup of Greek yogurt

Mix with 1/2 cup powder sugar and 1 tsp vanilla

Spread evenly onto cake

Roll it up and place it in a nice dish.  Chill before serving.

Here is the final result of yumminess!

Usually the filling consists of cream cheese, which is the best, but I wanted to try something different.  My first attempt failed because I didn't use Greek yogurt; I only used vanilla no-fat yogurt.  No good, the Greek yogurt is a must because it's thicker. 

Butternut Squash Cake Roll is from the Taste of Home Annual Recipes, 2007.  The icing is from the Cupcake Project: "Greek Yogurt Frosting- A Healthy Frosting".
